FCC Investigators Ideas On Better Ham Radio Self-Policing Practices

Post author By admin
Post date May 29, 2024

This is not my advice, I’m relaying what has worked for hams in the past. If you do not want to put these ideas into practice, don’t. Feel free to send a letter, or email. In a chance encounter I was lucky to meet someone from the FCC and we got to talking about radio jammers, and those that create interference on the bands.
If you have worked to self police the issue and it still remains, please reach out to the FCC https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us
